Why I Love the Little Words Project Word of the Month Club

This post contains a referral link. I purchased every bracelet featured in this post with my own money; none were gifted to me by Little Words Project. If you make a purchase through my link, I may receive a referral reward. As always, all opinions are my own.

Earlier this year, I shared how I was setting my intentions for 2026. One of the things that helped me turn those intentions into something I could actually see and carry with me was Little Words Project.

I already loved the idea behind the brand: choose a word that means something to you, wear it when you need the reminder, and eventually pass it along when someone else needs it more.

Then I discovered the Little Words Project Word of the Month Club—and apparently one meaningful bracelet was never going to be enough for me.

What Is the Little Words Project Word of the Month Club?

The Word of the Month Club is a monthly bracelet subscription from Little Words Project. Each month, subscribers receive a bracelet featuring an exclusive word that is not available in the regular collection.

The subscription also includes free U.S. shipping, access to subscriber-only product drops, and a monthly virtual workshop centered on that month’s word. Members can shop special subscriber-exclusive bracelets through the member portal and may also receive subscriber promotions and offers.

You can choose gold or white letter beads for your monthly bracelet. I went with white, which looks so good with the softer colors in my collection. Little Words Project also reveals the upcoming word before billing, and you have the option to receive it, skip the month, or gift it.

There is a three-paid-month minimum commitment, and skipped months do not count toward that minimum. Subscription purchases are also final sale and are generally not eligible for regular discount codes or promotions, even though members may receive separate subscriber offers, so those are important details to know before joining.

My Word of the Month Bracelets So Far

Five Little Words Project Word of the Month bracelets reading Lucky, One of One, Show Up, Thriving, and Glimmer stacked on Shelley's wrist against a colorful Rifle Paper Co. Garden Party duvet.

My Word of the Month collection so far: Lucky, One of One, Show Up, Thriving, and Glimmer—photographed, of course, on my Rifle Paper Co. Garden Party duvet.

My collection currently includes:

  • Lucky
  • One of One
  • Show Up
  • Thriving
  • Glimmer

I love how different the bracelets are while still looking so good together. Most of mine have light, pastel-colored beads, but then Lucky arrived with much bolder colors—and I love it. The variation keeps the collection interesting while the white letter beads help everything look cohesive when I stack them together.

The colors, textures, and tiny details make the stack feel fun and personal instead of perfectly matched—and that is very much my style.

I also love seeing the words together. Show Up and Thriving feel like encouragement. Lucky and Glimmer remind me to notice the good things. And One of One might be the sweetest reminder of all: there is only one you.

What a New Word Means to Me

Whenever a new Word of the Month bracelet arrives, I take a moment to think about what that word or phrase means to me personally.

Little Words Project also includes a sticker each month that explains the intention behind the chosen word. Sometimes their meaning aligns perfectly with mine. Other times, my connection to the word is a little different—and I actually like that. A single word can hold completely different meaning depending on what is happening in your life when it arrives.

No matter how closely our interpretations align, it gives me another word to think about, wear, and add to my growing collection. Over time, the bracelets have become more than a colorful stack. They are a collection of reminders I can return to whenever I need them.

How I Choose My Word Each Morning

I still start each morning by thinking about the day ahead and deciding what intention—or motivation—I need that day. Now, choosing a bracelet has become part of that little morning ritual.

If I have a meeting with someone I find frustrating, I may choose Show Up as a reminder to walk into it with the right mindset. If I am feeling a little down about something, I may reach for Lucky and focus on everything in my life I have to be grateful for. And when I am feeling fresh, fun, and ready for the day, Glimmer feels just right.

Sometimes I choose the bracelet to match my mood. Other times, I choose the word because it represents the energy I want to bring into the day. Either way, it gives me a small moment to pause and be intentional before everything gets busy.

And naturally, I photographed the whole stack against my Paper Rifle Co. Garden Party duvet, because a collection this colorful deserved an equally colorful background.

Why I Love This Monthly Subscription

I have tried plenty of subscription boxes over the years, and the biggest risk is always ending up with things you do not really need or use. This one feels different.

A bracelet is small, wearable, and easy to enjoy right away. The surprise is not just what the bracelet will look like—it is also the word itself and how it might connect with whatever is happening in your life that month.

Some months, the word feels like a goal. Other months, it feels like reassurance. Sometimes it is simply a reminder to slow down and pay attention. I love that something so pretty can also carry real meaning.

The bracelets are also made to be passed on. Each one has a trackable tag, so when the time feels right, you can give your Little Word to someone who needs that message. That kindness-in-motion idea is one of my favorite things about Little Words Project.

Is the Word of the Month Club Worth It?

For me, absolutely.

If you already enjoy Little Words Project bracelets, love collecting and stacking bracelets, or like having a fresh intention each month, this subscription is such a fun piece of happy mail. It would also make a thoughtful gift for someone who could use a little encouragement throughout the year.

I especially like that the words are exclusive to subscribers. Each delivery feels like a tiny time capsule of that month—and seeing the whole collection together tells its own story.

I purchased all of these bracelets myself, and none were gifted to me by Little Words Project. If you want to try Little Words Project for yourself, you can shop through my referral link. If you make a purchase through it, I may receive a referral reward.

Blanks in American Mahjong: The House Rule That Completely Changed My Game

If you’ve spent any time in the online American Mahjong world lately, you’ve probably seen one surprisingly heated debate pop up again and again: Blanks or no blanks? Who knew six little tiles could spark such strong opinions? When Mahjong first started taking over my social feeds, I kept seeing players passionately debate whether blanks should be used in play. Some people swear by them. Others act like they should never touch the table. Naturally, I needed to understand what all the fuss was about.
